Access to Athletics: ACLU Calls on CCSD to Reconsider Policy

In a letter addressed to representatives of the Clark County School District, the ACLU of Nevada's Maggie McLetchie requested that Clark County School District reconsider its policy preventing students in the Academy for Individualized Study (AIS) to take part in student athletic programs.

The ACLU is concerned that disallowing AIS students from participating as student athletes "bars several economically disadvantaged student athletes from participation, and discourages others through conflicting responses, inconsistent rule application, and exorbitant appeals fees."
